Rose postures up.
Zelenij keeping moving, preventing Rose from controlling successfully.
Zelenij has managed to work for a loose triangle. I think Rose should be able to defend this one pretty easily though. Oh, Zelenij has tightened it up now! Rose should have reacted faster there - he's in big trouble and yes, he's tapped out! This one is all over!
Ladies and gentlemen, after 2:51 of round 5, we have a winner by way of Submission (Triangle). Krokodil Zelenij!
Krokodil Zelenij is the new light heavyweight champion!
Krokodil Zelenij very nearly forgot to thank {xXx} iFight Nut. Energy Recovery 160 $55 amongst all the excitement of his win but just as the interview came to a close, he screamed their name. Hopefully he'll get a few nice freebies in the mail as a thank you.
